We’re Half Baked………

I know it’s hard to tell just by looking at our pictures, but, we have, at this very moment ………. the COVID-19 mRNa Vaccine BNT162b2 coursing through our veins, we’ve been done, we’ve been Pfizered!

I can’t tell you how emotional it was when we got our text on Friday asking us to “book our jabs” or yesterday at Riverside Surgery, when  at precisely 11.00am we were all simultaneously given the first half of our Covid vacation vaccination!  We’re officially half baked?  Can you believe it?

We apologise for not telling you of the joyous news before, but we were so worried that it may have been a hoax …… but as nobody asked for our inside leg measurements or bank details we thought we had best just select our time of choice, turn up and see what happened.

It was all a bit of a shock, because to the best of our knowledge we have no serious underwriting skills and certainly don’t fit into the age group being done at present, but it seems there are no others “quite like us” in Evesham and they thought they had best get us done where best was most appropriate!

Obviously, it wasn’t the time and place for taking photos, however we did manage to get a couple of surreptitious ones of Nigel sat sitting in the 10 minutes holding room waiting for any adverse reactions, of which, thankfully, there were none.

It was all very organised, a little bit of queuing and standing on designated spots outside our appointed jabbing rooms.  Nigel and I were fine, I wouldn’t say either of us felt a little prick, to be honest it was quite a sharp one, but what price immunity and hopefully, in the end, freedom.  Darrell was also surprisingly calm, seeing as he especially prefers to be a stranger to the hypodermic needle,  but was, perhaps, a tad disappointed when told that there weren’t any bravery stickers, no matter how “good” he had been!

We now await our next call up in about 12 weeks time, when we should be completely baked and perhaps now knowing the set up we’ll have a few more pictures of the monumental moment we become fully continent, but until then we feel well and truly blessed in a Kerry Catona Hello Magazine special edition type way.

  STAY SAFE

Wow! Congratulations! You all look very cool, calm and collected, as they used to say.
